Sylvia — the talking cat

Sylvia lived to a ripe old age of 17 years.
It is always sad to say goodbye to a good friend and Sylvia certainly fit that category. She and I spent many a time watching Gordon Ramsey on the Food Network. She in my lap, me brushing her, and both of us enjoying each other’s company.
Sylvia was quite the talker and she had lots of commentaries on everything, from the events of the day to her opinions about Gordon. And that suited me just fine. I enjoyed our conversations.
I have to admit that I admired this old gal, she was an only cat in a household full of dogs and when a Macaw joined the throng she took it in stride, although her ears did do the 360 degree rotation when the bird would send out a loud screech.
It is, as ever, one of the challenging things of working with animals that their lives are short and their departure is always too soon.
Sylvia had a great life and she lived long and strong. Goodbye sweet girl! I will miss you….

"Hmm ... what were they thinking anyway? A polyester bed spread in the bedroom? That's so 1980's. I'm more into natural cotton fibers, more cuddly. Oh well, I guess I can make use of the threads after I tear it up. It's a pretty difficult job, but hey—somebody has to do it."
